LITERATURE. IMPRESSIONS OF ENGLAND-2 Vo Ls. Bentley, London, 1836. This work professes to be written by a foreigner-- a Count Edouard de iVlelfort, who made a hasty tour through England a few years since, and a second one more recently. We cannot compliment the Count, or Whoever the writer of the book may be, whether cf foreign or domestic growth, on his discernment or sa gacity as a traveller. He is hasty in his conclusions, and so superficial in his descriptions, as to lead us to doubt whether he ever saw many of the places which he undertakes to describe. The volumes, however, are good-humouredly written, and with a disposition, on the part of the writer, to make the best of everything. BRIGHTON.-SUNDAY. This morning their Majesties, the Royal suite and House - hold, attended Divine Worship in the Royal Chapel. The Rev, Dr. Everard read pray ers , a nd the Rev. H. M. Wagnerw preached from Luke, chap. xvii. verse 17. The choir chanted the service, and sung an aiithem composed by Michael Wise. Their Majesties, and the Court generally, have been con fined to the Palace to-day by the rainy weather. The King granted an audience to Col. Sir Wm. Gomm this afternoon. The Royal dinner party on Friday evening, by invita tion, comprised Prince Esterhazy, Prince Nicolas Ester 'lazy, Count Waldstein, Count Appony, Mr. Henry Ellice, Lieut.-General Sir Jasper Nicolls, Lieut.-General Sir Wm. Lumley, Admiral Sir R. Otway, and General Gascoyne. Yesterday evening their Majesties entertained to dinner the Marquis of Bristol and Lady Georgiana Harvey, Earl and Lady Jermyn, Sir William and Lady Gomm, Prince Esterhazy, Prince Nicolas Esterhazy, ,Count Waldstein and Count Appony, Lord George Seymour, Hon. Captain Campbell, R.N. On Friday evening the Duchess of St. Albans gave a ball and supper, on a splendid scale, to a large assemblage of fashionables. Dancing commenced about ten o'clock to Kirchner's band, and three o'clock had arrived before the dancing ceased. A new set of quadrilles, composed by the Hon. J. Greville, entitled " La Bouquet," were the favourites. Yesterday was a beautiful day, and our public drives and Promenades were thronged with fashionrblcs. His Majesty, accompanied by Lady De Lisle, took a carriage drive to Rottingdean in the afternoon. The Queen, and a numerous suite, walked on the western esplanade and the Chain Pier for upwards of an hour before luncheon. The Court, gene rally, were in ;public. Yesterday the King granted audiences to Colonel Sir Wm. Gomm ; and also to the Right Hon. R. C. Fergus son, Judge Advocate-General. Viscountess Falkland arrived yesterday, on a visit to their COURT CIRCULAR. The Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, Mr. Grote, M.P„ and Mr. Gurney, had inter 'views on Saturday evening, with the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, in Downing-street.

The Grecian and Bavarian Ministers transacted business on Saturday, at the Foreign-office. FASHIONABLE IN TE L.LIGENCE. The Noble Marquis, in company with the Hon. Mr. Bruce, son of the Earl of Elgin, gave a dinner a few days ago to upwards of 100 tenants, and several balls had been given to the younger branches. This little island has wonder fully increased in prosperity within the last few years, under the personal influence of the Duke of Hamilton (the father of the Noble Marquis), and its annual exports in cattle, &c. now amount to upwards of 25,0001. The Hon. Harvey Aston, who will be of age in May next, has purchased a magnificent yacht, and is going with a party of young men of fashion to cruise up the Straits. Married, on Saturday last, at Hampton Church, by the Hon. and Rev. Richard Cavendish Boyle, Captain CoUrtenay Boyle, R.N., and Groom of the Privy Chamber to his Majesty, to Miss Wallace Ogle, daughter of William Wallace Ogle, Esq.; of Causey Park, Northumberland. The Governorship of Guernsey is not yet filled up report now gives it to General Sir Amos Norcot, late in command of the troops in Jamaica. Mr. R. Peake, who takes a benefit at the English Opera-house to-morrow, is to be assisted, as he well merits, both from his talents and from his sacrifices, by Madame Vestris, young Mathews, Farren, Bartley, Cooper, Mea dows, and Miss E. Romer, besides the usual members of the company. With The Devil's Bridge, The Loan of a Lover, My Neighbour's Wife, and a musical pasticcio, so sup ported, he is sure of a full house. Mr. Forrest and The Siege of Corinth together have drawn above 450/. a night during the last week at Drury-lane Theatre. MALIBRAN.—If the almost innumerable portraits of the deceased which we see exhibited in the shop windows really bear resemblance to her, they at least realise Pope's well-known couplet— " How many pictures of one nymph we view, . All how unlike each other, all how true !" The British Gallery, in Pall-mall, is undergoing a complete internal repair and decoration previous to its next opening. Some scientific persons are said to be trying experi. ments for the purpose of rendering. glass used for common purposes less brittle. The curious and extensive library of the late Sir Francis Freeling is about tole disposed of by public auction. Loid and Lady Wriothesley Russell are still at Dover for the benefit of her Ladyship's health, which is in a very delicate state. The person styled Sir Edmund Falconbridge, who has been about to various places in this and adjoining counties, stating himself to be the heir of the " Worrall estates," is now in the County Lunatic Asylum, at the charge of the parish of Braut Broughton.—Lincolnshire Chronicle. As Mr. R. Page, a respectable farmer of Thornaby, was proceeding to Stockton, about 9 o'clock on Tuesday evening, in crossing the railroad near the bridge-house, a steam-engine and train of carriages came suddenly upon him, by which he was knocked down, and the carriage pas sing over his body, killed him on the spot.—Tyne _Mercury. On Sunday evening the Northern Central Bank, at Sheffield, was broken into by some thieves, but they were unable to disco%er the money, although they broke open several drawers, &c. The manager, who resides on the premises, was out at dinner, and left the house in the care of the servants, who went out on their pleasure, leaving it without any person on the premises.—Halifax Express. FIRE AT CLOWANCE.—HELSTON, kiOV. 10, half-past nine A. M.—This moment the engine with four horses is gone off to Clowance, the country seat of Sir J. St. Aubyn, Baronet, which is in flames. We have since learnt, with regret, that of the mansion (one of the finest buildings in the county) and its contents, the pictures only have been saved.—Cornubian. Two natives of Auvergne appeared on the 4 '9th of this month before the Tribunal of Correctional Police. One of them, named Raveceul, who is a water-carrier, com plained of the other, who is employed in the sale of fuel and charcoal, that he had assaulted him in a base and trai terous manner. Brousse, the accused, replied that he had merely struck the horse of the complainant on the nose, while the latter arrived at the very extraordinary conclusion that a blow inflicted on the nose of a man's horse, is ex actly equivalent to " planting a hit " on the owner's stomach. Several witnesses were examined, and Brousse endeavoured to defend himself in a speech full of his native patois, which as the reporter gravely affirmed, it would have required "superhuman" powers to comprehend. Poor Brousse was fined 16 francs. CHANGES.

On Friday a pauper, who had escaped from the Shrewsbury Union workhouse two months since, clad in a new suit of clothes, presented himself to the Hereford Ves try, almost naked, and demanded some clothes. He was interrogated as to what he had done with those he had when he left the workhouse, of which he would give no ac count. A summons was obtained against him ; and when he appeared before the Magistrates he was dressed in the Union clothes, almost new. In the course of his examina- _ ... tion he confessed that he sought the clothes for the purpose of sale, and that he had lived by begging ; he was com mitted to gaol for twenty-eight days, and to be fed on bread and water only.—Hereford Journal. On Saturday the paviours employed in Gutter-lane, Cheapside, found several Roman gold coins, a few feet from the surface of the earth. The workmen, ignorant of their value, sold three of them for .ss. ; but two, evidently of the reign of one of the Caesars, are in the possession of the landlord of King William, Noble-street.

A plan of great public utility, and which promises to be ultimately beneficial to the trust estates belonging to the London-bridge, is now under the consideration of the Bridge-house Committee. An estate of more than five acres, near the Bridge, and extending from the banks of the river to Tooley-street, belongs to the Trust, and a consi derable portion of it will, in a few years, be out of lease. Mr. Cubitt, who has been consulted by the Committee as to the best appropriation oT the estate, has submitted a plan for a dock and warehouses extending up to Tooley-street, which would assist in relieving the trade of the river, the crowded state of which was pointedly referred to by the late Lord Mayor, and retain and extend some valuable branches of trade, by giving a great increase of wharfage and ware house room in the immediate vicinity of the city, and of its most valuable Trust property. At a late hour on Thursday evening, as the servant maid of Mr. John Sembleton, of Hoxton, was bringing up the supper things, she was much alarmed by hearing a heavy fall in the back-parlour, and on proceeding thither was shocked at beholding the body of her master lying on the floor, deluged with blood—his throat cut. A decline of business, and the extravagance of a younger son, are sup posed to have prompted him to the rash deed ; but until this event no symptoms of insanity or despondency had pre sented themselves, SPANISH TASTES.—Altogether I did not find the Spanish so intractable in matters of eating and drinking as might be expected from their prejudice against every thing foreign. No muleteer on the road but would run after Cheshire cheese, or an English beefsteak, as delicacies of the first class ; and at Bilboa a grave Spanish captain of grenadiers got fuddled with bottled porter, which he had never tasted before, but liked it so much after the first glass that he swallowed a second, third, and fourth, till at length he declared his inability to find his way home, and called upon us to execute that duty for him. From what I have seen of Spanish temperance, I should say, that it is as much the result of poverty as of natural inclination, and am some what disposed to give credit to the assertion of Lithgow, an old traveller, who wrote on Spain somewhere about the commencement of the 17th century, and who assures us that " the Spaniard is of a spare diet, and temperate, if at his own cost he spend, but if given gratis, he bath the longest tusks that ever played at table."—Twelve Months in the British Legion. A great number of labourers, mechanics, and agri culturalists, and others, who emigrated from England to America last year, have lately returned, in the New York packet ships, in a most destitute condition, and give a me lancholy account of the condition of the United States and the state of things there, which they represent to be much worse than in England. There were nearly 150 return emigrants brought home in the Quebcc, a new and splendid ship, which arrived in the St. Catherine's Dock from New York, for the first time on Monday, a majority of whom were in the most abject state of distress. Bad as was their condition, the wanderers said that the state of thousands of their fellow-countrymen and countrywomen, whom they had left behind in New York and other towns in America, was ten times worse ; that disease had made sad ravages among great numbers; and that hundreds would be glad to throw themselves into the first vessel bound for England, and trust to the charity of their fellow-passengers for food if they only had the means of paying the passage-money. The winter had already set in with unusual severity at New York when they left, and those who were in employment could obtain no money payments for their labour, while the scarcity of corn had been very sensibly felt. At the Sheriff's Court, Bury St. Edmund's, on Thursday, the 10th inst., the cause of " Bond v. Hear sum," for an assault on the plaintiff, was tried. The facts of the case are as follow :—During Mr. O'Connell's visit to Ipswich, the plaintiff was standing on the steps of the Town Hall. In the course of Mr. O'Connell's address he mentioned the name of Mr. Bond as having given some offence to him by his political conduct, when the defendant headed a mob of twenty or thirty persons, who rushed upon him and beat him severely, Hearsum himself striking him violently several times ; and the people drove Mr. Bond by their blows into the Golden Lion, where he found protec tion from further ill usage. Mr. Bond brought an action for damages against Hearsum, who pleaded guilty, this trial being for the assessment of damages ; the returned a ver dict of 40s. damages.—lpswich Journal. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1.8 forty.—( Hear.) Now here, am I not supp or t e d b y t h e authority of Mr. Doubleday in asserting that if the Refor mers of Newcastle had not been indifferent to Ireland, they would have returned the friend of her cause. There could not be a more desirable candidate, or a more excellent re presentative than Sir Wm. Molesworth.—(Hear.) He was an honour to the British nation. His is one of those master-minds which has never been wanting in the dreariest and most gloomy periods of British history, to preserve her distinction and adorn her fame.—(Cheers.) His speech on the Orange lodges was one o f th e best I ever heard. I hope he will be returned for Newcastle.—(Cheers.) But why have I spoken of this matter ? I have spoken of it to show that we Irish Radicals manage these matters better.—(Hear.) We support a good Whig, though he is not a Radical.—(Hear.) I may allude to my own conduct on the question of the ballot. Anxious as I was, and as I still . am, for that measure, I voted in favour of it, and against the Administration.—(Hear.) . I will vote so again, and I will vote so on every question which involves the principles of radicalism.—( hear.) I will always take what I can get, and then struggle for the rest.----(Cheers.) I come next to the question of indifference on the part of England—( Hear.) It is said there is not sufficient evidence of indifference. Look first at the press. There is a part of it half Whig and half Tory, which is decidedly indif ferent to Ireland—(Hear)—and even the most talented portion of it, by its continual attacks upon the present ad ministration, leaves us to draw no other inference than that it is indifferent to the cause of Ireland.—(Hear.) No man who is carping at the present Administration is anxious for Ireland. I say to Englishmen you are right as English men to express your dissatisfaction with the present Mi nistry ; but you are wrong in doing so as regards Ireland. They give that country a ground for hope wlkich it has Seldom been her lot to enjoy.—(Hear.) . If the existing ministry are but left in power for another twelvemonths, let the Irish Administration continue to do 'equal justice—let them continue to have the door of office open only to merit —let them go on controuling all the operations of govern ment with spotless justice and impartiality ; let them do this for one, twelvemonths, and what will become of the To ries? Why we would beat them everywhere, and there is not a corner of the world in which their defeat will not be sounded.—(Cheers.) Again, there is another port of the English press whiCh cants (after all it is only cant) about the anxiety of Englishmen . for Ireland. Did not those Englishmen return a majority to Parliament against us ? ( Hear.) Shall I not say they are indifferent, or rather shall I not say they are hostile to us, when these re presentatives are marshalled against the concession of justice to Ireland?—(Cheers.) Yes, the majority of the English representatives are against us ; the Scotch and Irish Members make the fight in our behalf a • cheer ing one.—(Hear, hear.) Yesterday I felt it my duty to dwell upon the state of parties and of feeling in Ireland and as it is my ,intention to proceed, step by step, in the agitation which I have marked out for my pursuit—(Cheers), —I have to-day taken a view of the parties and of the feel ing in England.—(Cheers.) Do I allude to all these things to excite fear in the minds of Irishmen ? Do I allude to them for the purpose of inspiring Irishmen with any false hope ? No! But I mention them that we may have a ra tional estimate of our condition and our prospects.—( Hear, hear.) This is an association in which I am proud to stand. We are here without distinction—all sectarian differences have vanished from amongst us.—(Hear, hear.) We have in the General Association of Ireland, at this moment, five times the number of Protestants that we had in the Catholic Association at the end of even eight or ten years.—(Cheers.) Again, look at the agitators of the pre sent day. Who are they ? Formerly they were almost exclu sively Catholic—now they are almost entirely Protestant. —(Cheers.) Why have we so long been slaves? Weak ened by our dissentions, we have been for six centuries an easy prey to the spoiler—(Hear,)—but now, irresistible in our union, and in the power produced by our being constitu tionally bound up with each other, we are too powerful for thraldom. 'What a cry has been raised because Lord Mulgrave has offered a puisne judgeship to O'Loghlen.— (Hear.) The cry has been raised because O'Loghlen is a Catholic.--(Hear.) Let the bigots travel for a lesson across the Atlantic.—(Hear, hear.) Who is the Chief Justice of the highest court in the United States ? I al lude to this, because, perhaps, I am the only man here who knows who and what he is. His name is Todd. He goes to mass on Sunday, and presides, during the rest of the week, in court, with the approbation, respect, and con fidence of his fellow-citizens.—(Cheers.) He is the Chief Justice of the High Court of Error, which is the highest court in Washington.—(Hear.) No objection was made with regard to his religion —no question was ever asked about it.—(Hear.) I seek no ascendancy—l heartily abhor it.—(Loud cheers.) If an attempt to establish a Catholic ascendancy were made, there is not a Pro testant in existence who would more strenuously battle against it than I would myself.—(Loud cheers.) All ascendancy is bad, and destructive of true religion.—(Cheers.) Ere I conclude, I again call upon all Ireland to rouse.— (Hear.) We must have a multiplication of petitions.— (Hear.) Every province —every county, barony, parish, and village—must send forth its energetic call upon the Legislature.—(Cheers.) Every loyal man must be asso ciated for the preservation of peace and good order. I again repeat it—the petitions must 1.4 multiplied. We must also have persons in every parish accountable for the perpe tration of illegal acts of vielence.—(Cheers.) There is an abundance of work to be performed : all Ireland must be roused ; we must in every district have "normal schools of peaceful agitation."—(Laughter.) The wise Lords would not give us corporations, lest we should turn them into agi tation clubs. Oh ! how they have prevented agitation ! (Laughter.) That majority in our favour will increase the more in proportion as we help ourselves. The French have a proverb, " Aide toi et Dieu t'aidera"—help yourselves, and God will help you,—(Cheers.) We will help ourselves. —(Cheers.) We will also help our friends—(Cheers)—and the bitter scorn of Ireland, roused into action, shall fling back with contempt the allegation, that we are unfit for freedom, into the teeth of the Tory slanderers who pronounced it. The Liberator sat down amidst the enthusiastic cheers which always accompany and follow his effusions. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then moved the addi tion of Mr. Sharman Crawford to the Committee. He (Mr. O'Connell) must state most explicitly that he had no ill-will or resentment towards the Hon. Member for Dun dalk. The case was simply this—Mr. Sharman Crawford had written five letters against him (Mr. O'Connell) ; when the fifth letter appeared, he (Mr. O'Connell) replied, and Mr. Sharman Crawford published his rejoinder ; Lord Clon curry then interfered, and I was silent. I left Mr. S. Crawford the last, although I think I had an answer.— (Laughter.) I have always acted upon the principle of the Grecian leader who cried " Strike, but hear me ;" and in this case I will willingly receive the blow, and not resent it, rather than cause dissension amongst the friends of Ire land.—(Cheers.) • Mr. O'MEARA was then moved to the Chair, and the thanks of the meeting having been voted to Mr. Purcell for his conduct in the Chair, the assembly separated. LAvv APPOINTMENTS.—The statements made relative to the Law Appointments in the Mail last evening are alto gether destitute of foundation. It is not true that any force has been used towards Mr. O'Loghlen, with a view to induce him to accept a seat on the Bench. Perhaps, of all men at the Bar, Mr. O'Loghlen was in a position to be less influenced by suggestions of the kind. In full and profitable practice, he might, if he supposed any slight in tended, have fallen at once back upon his profession, and, assuredly, would have done so. But, so far from being coerced, although he might have justly looked up, From his position as Attorney-General, his talents as a Barrister, and his eminent success in Parliament, to the highest dignity of his profession, he has consented, on' grounds the most pure, unselfish, and patriotic, to accept the vacant office. It is now needless to inquire into the apparent delay which oc curred as to the appointment. Suffice it to say, that Mr. O'Loghlen has been this day sworn in a Baron of the Ex chequer, and that he will take his seat on Tuesday.—Dublin Evening Post of Saturday. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 12.—1 n consequence of the continued illness of the Chief Baron, an important application respecting writs of rebellion has been postponed. Mr. O'Connell, it is understood, is to support the applica tion.—lbid. AECOUNTANI'- GENERAL.—The Dublin Evening Post of this evening states that Mr. Fitzsimon has ultimately de clined accepting the office of Accountant-General, as " he felt it a duty t o hi s constituents and to the Government to remain as the representative of the county at any sacrifice to his own interest." THE BANK;,.The Dublin Evening Post of Saturday last supplies the following information relative to the run on the Banks:---._" The agricultural Bank has borne the pressure with unflinching strength. We learn, indeed, that the Galway branch of this establishment has suspended its payments for. a day or two--a circumstance at which we are not surprised—but, we are thoroughly convinced, that it will re-commence on Monday. In Cork there has been also a run on one of the branches, but it has borne the pressure. It should be added, to the credit of the Bank of Ireland, that it has acted in this crisis with the utmost liberality, and, abandoning all notions of commercial ri valry, that it has exerted itself to avert the calamity with which all the interests of the country have been menaced. We should add, that vast quantities of bullion have beFn imported during the present week into Dublin, and dis patched with great alacrity to various places in the country. With regard to the Northern Banks, there has been some demand for their notes, made payable in two respectable houses in thi s c i ty —at Watson ' s, and at the banking-house of Boyle, Low, Pim, and Company. It is unnecessary to say that the demands were promptly met. There can, we think, be no reasonable doubt entertained that Ireland will, be enabled to withstand the present pressure." D trzlati Sourry.-..The Dublin Society; have agreed to the Peport of Reue.lion Smith and toeir Select Com mittee—nay, unanimously agreed. That is to say, they have come to a virtual resolution to starve the Society, and to break it up ; for, most assuredly, nut a sixpence of the public money will they be allowed to touch. They have resolved that they are an independent, co-ordinate estate of the realm ; that they will, indeed, condescend to re ceive the money of the people, but they would see the Whig Government to Jericho, rather tha❑ receive a sug gestion from them. But, then, we repeat it, they will not get the monish. They have resolved to continue the news papers—the Dublin Society being a political Club—but, then, they must pay out of their own breeches pockets for the amusement. They have resolved to make his Excel lency, the Lord Lieutenant, their President. Have they asked his consent ? They have made seven Vice-Presi dents—all Etter, back-bone Orangemen. We think this was clever. It shows that they are able to stand upon their own bottom. They threw out the Earl of Meath, as Vice-President, and adopted the Sorry Sergeant. This is good. Mr. Henry Kemmis, brother of the Crown Soli citor—a fellow of the right sort—succeeds the late Mr. Boyd. Excellent! We do not know that we have had, for a long time, such an agreeable piece of intelligence to com municate to our amiabl public.—Dublin Evening Post. There is another famous split between this well-knitted— this uncompromising —this 'potent party. Boyton has de dared for the Board of Education—with an if—and Murty O'Mulligan and the Mai/ against Boyton and the Back sliders, with a voice loud as a puddle in a storm. Oh ! it is brave work.—Dublin Evening Post. DUNGARVAN POLITICS.—The Waterford mail speaks of a meeting held in Dungarvan, hostile to the nomination of the Hon. Mr. Phipps, and throws out a feeler in favour of Sir Richard Keane. We know not whether this has been done with the knowledge or approval of the Hon. Baronet, and shall, therefore, make no comment on the hint of our Contemporary. This much we may add, that arrangements are in active progress for maintaining the independence of the borough, and giving to the electors a candidate in every respect worthy of their choice. They have sufficient expe rience in elections to render any exhortation unnecessary as to the expediency of keeping their votes disengaged.— Waterford Chronicle. COLLECTION OF TITHES.--The public journals still teem with facts connected with the attempted collection,of,an impost, which the determined resistance of the people throughout the country have now virtually extinguished. &An° —Winter has commenced with extreme rigour in several parts of the kingdom and on the Continent. In this neighbourhood there has been a long continuance of rain, heavy sleet, hail, and frost, with a chilling harshness seldom equalled at this period of the year. The conse quence is that fuel has been raised to a very high price, turf being nearly doubled in charge ; this is also the case with potatoes, oatmeal, and almost every other essential article of human sustenance. In such an extremity, with every prospect of the necessaries of life being enhanced, what can be expected from the hapless condition of a largo portion of the population but general contagion and appal ling privations—the poor of this vicinity are in dire distress at the present moment ; and the mendicity establishment is at the lowest ebb, without funds, and no provision in store for the maintenance of its inmates at so critical a juncture. DONEGAL.—The crops this season have suffered severely from the severity of the weather. In many parts of this county whole fields of oats are yet uncut and quite green ; the potatoes are in many places undug, and much of them not half ripe. On Thursday morning last the hills in many places were covered with snow—showers of hail and sleet fell at intervals throughout the day. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 12.—News from Bilboa. Bayonne, Nov.B. —Extract from the Phare :—" The communications by sea between Bilboa and Bayonne, which were interrupted only by the bad weather, have been completely restored since the sea has become less rough. We learn by seve ral letters received from Bilboa on the 6th, in the evening, that the Carlists have greatly deceived us in the reports which they sent to this place respecting their operations before that town. It is certain that they have completely failed, and they have not made themselves masters of any position or attack on Mollena on the night of the 26th. Their best soldiers, deserters from the Algerine . Legion, and the Spanish troops, supported by five battalions under the ex-Infante Don Sebastian, were vigorously repulsed by two companies only of the National Guards. On the 28th they raised the siege, and on the 3d of this month the na vigation of the Nerviou met with no o b s t ac l e ; 1,500 men had arrived from Santander to reinforce the gat rison. We think we shall be able to give in our next Number some de tails of the new siege of Bilboa, in which the besieged lost above 200 men. The damage done by the bombardment is considerable.—La Paix, Nov. 12. FRENCH FUNDS.-Psitts, Nov. 11, Five per Cents., 105 f. 6 ,1 c. 55c. 6::e. 70c. 75c. Four and a Half ver Cents. 100 f. 80e.

(Concluded from The Sun of Saturday.) The SECRETARY read the following letter by Lord Stour ton, in reply to one from the Chairman of a former tneting. " Merton Park, Nov. 2d, 1836. " Sir—ln acknowledging the receipt of your obliging let ter of the 29th Oct., I have to return you my thanks for the handsome manner in which you have been so kind as to enhance, by your own flattering expressions, the commu nication of the favourable sentiments towards me of the Na tional Association, of which you were the Chairman. In desiring equal and impartial justice to Ireland, and in con tributing my humble efforts for its attainment, I am only discharging a duty, and realizing, as far as I am able, a be nefit to the united empire, of which Ireland is so very im portant a member. " I have the honour to remain, Sir, " Your obliged and obedient servant, " To Ebenezer Jacob, Esq. STO UR TON.. Mr. O ' CONNELL—Permit me to hand in a sum of 101., the subscription of a most respected London friend of mine, Mr. John Easthope.—(Cheers.) Mr. Easthope never gave a single vote in the House that was 'not in favour of the rights and interests of the people.—(Hear.) Mr. EasthOpe was then admitted a member of the asso ciation. Mr. O'Coeramr.l. said, that 131. l 4s. 10d. had been re ceived from the parishes of Kill and Kelmanahan in the diocese of Meath. Mr. O'Connell proposed as members, ten gentlemen from the parish of Moone, near Castleder mot, in the county Kildare. Amongst the number was the name of Patrick 'William Byrne, an Englishman. The CHAIRMAN observed, that in the parish in which these gentlemen resided there was no church, and but one Protestant.—( Hear.) Mr. Byrne when be came there from Liverpool was horror-struck on witnessing, not long since, the rebellion ruffians as they broke open the doors at night and offered every species of violence in pursuit of tithe vic tims, some of whom, howerer, to show that they were not to be deterred in their resistance to payment of tho unholy impost, had that day sent in their subscriptions to the Ge neral Association.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. Dunn, parish priest of Castledermot, a gentleman who had hitherto ab stained from interfering in politics, was now coming forward in another capacity. In fact, Mr. Dunn was then on his way to Dublin to answer a tithe bill, in which a great num ber of his parishioners were acting with him. It was at the suit of the Very Rev. Dean of St. Patrick's, who, if he shew the same anxiety about his tithes as the Dean of Ar dagh has evinced, the consequence may be that the people will be actuated by a feeling of hatred which they never en tertained before. Heretofore no enmity was harboured against the parson himself—their hatred was not to the clergy, but to the tithes.—(Hear, hear.) li, however, the line of conduct at present pursued, were persevered in, it would have the effect of bringing down on the heads of the Protestant clergymen the most bitter hatred and detestation. Mr. O'CONNELL--I rise now, Sir, to propose the ad, mission of Messrs. Carpenter and Cleave.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Carpenter I know well, and long. He is a man who professes the principles of honest Radicalism ; and there is not another man on whom I would place more reliance than Mr. Carpenter.—( Hear.) I know Mr. Cleave too. Mr. Cleave suffered much as the advocate of the unstamped press, and in that situation has endured much persecution. That he is a sound thinking honest man is indisputable.— (Hear.) With respect to Mr. Carpenter's contradiction of his assertion respecting the indifference of the people of England as to the cause of Ireland, I never made any such assertion as that ; I never said the people of England were altogether indifferent to the cause of the Irish people— what I said was this, that the majority of the English people were either indifferent or hostile to our cause—but then I did not include the entire people of England—l did not include amongst them the sincerely honest Radicals of England—l never meant to include such men as Carpenter and Cleave—but I do say and maintain that my assertion with respect to the majority of the people of England being against the extension of justice to Ireland was and is per fectly correct. How do I prove that assertion ? I begin with the Aristocracy of England ; will any man deny that they do not insult us, and treat us with every description of contumely.—(Hear, hear.) I ask you to look to the Conservative meetings throughout England, where they hire buffoons such as Wilks to expatiate on the unfitness of Irishmen to enjoy equal rights and laws with Englishmen—. am I right then in saying that the English aristocracy are not the enemies of the King's subjects in this part of the empire ? Look to any period of history since time of Ed ward the Third, that Monarch who was called, and justly so I must say, the English Justinian —he consulted his English Peers on the necessity of abolishing the distinetiou between those nobles of English birth and the inhabitants of this country. He sent to his Barons, he consulted them on this subject, but they contrived to baffle him for three years. But then one could endure such things from those iron Barons, w ith thei r goo d trusty broad swords, and their host of retainers, by which they were enabled to carry on a show of authority characteristic of high, haughty, and brave men ; but from the silken Lords of the present clay— who could bear such treatment from that miserable set o f gouty, ricketty creatures ?—(Loud laughter.) There is a vulgar adage, which says that it would take nine tailors to make a man ; why, I verily believe that it would take nine and twenty of those puny Barons that exist now- a _ days to make a man.—(Laughter.) They have a selfish object in persecuting us, because they thereby wish to keep up the power of the oligarchy in England, for they know that the friends of Ireland are the greatest enemies to des potism. I bring you next to the gentry of England, and I tell you that the Conservatives amongst this class arc very numerous. They are incorporating the operatives into their Conservative clubs. Why, it is a disgrace to the operative classes of England, that they should suffer themselves to be made the tools, nay, I will say the slaves, of those whose only object is to uphold the principles of despotism, oppres sion, and peculation.—(Hear.) The operatives of England ought to recollect who it was that introduced the property qualification clause into the Reform Bill. It was the House of Lords—it was the Conservatives of Britain. What was the object of that clause ? It was to give a pre ferenee to a man who happened to have a money qualifi cation, over the man whose qualification was to be found in superior intelligence and real worth. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman then proceeded to allule to the exultation of the Tories at the fancied dissensions be tween the Whigs and Radicals ; but they were mistaken if they supposed for a moment that the' existence of the pre sent administration would be hazarded by any division —the Radicals would never forsake the present Government. The Tories hated the Liberal party, and sooner than sub mit to Tory domination, the Radicals would unite for ever with the Whigs. By such means they would succeed. Mr. O'Connell next referred to the struggles of the Dis senters, and said of the conduct of Sir Robert Peel, that his absence from the house on one memorable-occasion was as undignified as it was significant of bigotry towards the body whose interests were under consideration.—(Hear.) Who carried emancipation ? We carried it ourselves.= (Loud cheers.) To those who abuse the Whigs I put these questions :—Tell me who liberated the slaves? The Whigs. Who led eight hundred thousand slaves into the temple of liberty ? The Whigs.—(Cheers.) Who abo lished the India monopoly ? The Whigs. Who by that abolition reduced the price of the poor man's tea by one half? The Whigs.—(Cheers.) Who first gave the In dians an interest in their nation ? The Whigs.—(Cheers.) Above all, who gave us reform ?—(Cheers.) It was the Whigs. Who, in one schedule, abolished fifty-six rotten boroughs, which furnished one hundred and twelve Mem bers to Parliament, who were returned thereto by some eigteen or twenty boroughmongers? I appeal to the honest Radicals whether it is not to the Whigs that we are in debted for schedule A ?—(Loud cheers.) Those honest radicals may, however, say, that the Reform Bill does not go far enough. I agree with them, but are we to forget the 15s. in the pound ?—(Hear, hear.) The other day I was exceedingly gratified in reading the report of the pro ceeding at a Radical dinner at Worcester, to find a sound speech of some-tw en ty-fi ve sentences, declaring that liberty can be achieved and must be achieved by the moral force of public opinion. The way in which that declaration was received showed the wisdom of the English people.— (Hear.) Nothing is more certain than that by keeping within the law and by avoiding all violence, the full mea sure of justice and liberty will be secured. That is the principle of which I have ever been and am still the apostle. —(Cheers.) It is a principle which I laid down within these walls five hundred times before was yielded to. It is now admitted, and proud I am to say that it is acted upon in every quarter.—(Cheers.) Here then are the parties who oppose us in England—there is the aristocracy, and there are Conservative gentry who are connected with the aristocracy, and who have been enriched by the plunder of the people. There are also against us a part of the ope ratives, who have basely combined with th e T or i es aga i ns t themselves. The Tory Radicals are also against us, and others are. indifferent towards us. I believe the majority are not our enemies, but I put in the portion which is in different, and by that those who are hostile and indifferent towards us constitute the majority. In referring to the Newcastle election, upon a former occasion, I said it proved not that the majority were hostile to Ireland, but that it was eitber hostile or indifferent.—( Hear.) What has oc curred since ? That excellent man, my friend Mr. Dou bleday, who is now a member of the reformed municipal Council, in the course of a speech the other day on the considering of Sir William Molesworth as a proper candi date, said, at the last election in Newcastle, owing to some pettishness and jealousy excited by the question who should dictate the person to be supported as a candidate, that one hundred radicals did not vote at all, whilst the majority in favour of the friend of Ireland, over its enemy, was only BELGIUM. ANTWERP, Nov. had good reason to doubt the truth of the great news published by the Journal des Flanders, respecting the approaching marriage of a Coburg with the Princess Victoria of England ; that Journal is forced to retract its blunder in the following terms : " Our London Correspondent, in transmitting to us the news of the marriage of the Princess Victoria to a Prince of Saxe Coburg, appears to have been led into an error, or to have yielded too easily to the wish man;fet,tect by the majority of the English nation, for we learn from an authen tic source, that there is no foundation for this news, at least at present." The obscrvateur publishes the following notice, proceed ing from the ex-king of Sweden : " The undersigned has the honour to inform the De puties to the Chamber of Representatives of Belgium, that he has addressed to them a complaint against the Minister of Justice of his Majesty the King of the Belgians, dated April 30, 1836, and that be has received the assurance that it was delivered to the Porter of the Chamber in the month of May. " Col. G. A. GUSTASSON." —.journal du Commerce d'Anvers, Nov. 12. BRUSSELS, Nov. 11.—Chamber of Representatives.— In this sitting, the motion of M. Dumortier was discussed, proposing that Members of the Chambers who had been appointed to the offices of burgomaster and aldermen should be declared to have vacated their seats. After a very long debate, it was decided first, that deputies appointed burgo masters should not be subject to re-election. Of 69 mem bers present, 55 answered in the negative, 9 in the affirma tive, and 5 declined voting. The same division was come to respecting deputies ap pointed aldermen. • ANTWERP, Nov. 12.—The Messager de Gand contains to-day a piece of news which, if true, wou ld b e a death blow to our sugar bakers. We must say that it is not the first time this that news has been spread, and we will hope that it will prove unfounded on this occasion also. It is, that several letters from Prussia say that from the Ist Ja nuary the importation of our sugars, refined or half refined, into the Prussian dominions, will be prohibited. GERMANY. VIENNA, OCT. 30.—The direction of the affairs of State has been for some time in a manner undecided —his Highness Prince Metternich, having indeed constantly the chief management under the command of his Majesty, especially the finance and foreign affairs, and Count Kolow rat directing the Home Department. This system com menced soon after the death of the Emperor Francis, and has hitherto continued without interruption with the most perfect unanimity. There is now, however, a report in circulation that Count Kolowrat may probably ret;re from public life on account of his continued ill health. It i s wholly unknown whether this great loss will be repaired by another appointment, or .by replacing the department over which Count Kolowrat presides under the direction of the Chancellor. Considering the system which the G overnmen t of his Majesty the Emperor follows,. the latter seems to be the most advisable. The Austrian monarchy is so situated that the internal policy cannot well be separated from the foreiot policy ; it is, therefore, the more necessary that the who a machine should be guided by a master-I-And, according :o the resolutions of the Sovereign, and Prince Metternich has proved at all times that he, and he alone, possesses the requisite talents. This statesman has lately shown how well he understands how to adapt the circumstances of the times to the interest of the country, by the many essential facilities given to the commerce with Austria ; they have been introduced slowly, but with prudence, and who knows what may be the effect of the canal uniting the Maine and the Danube, and the steam navigation of the Danube, even with respect to the policy adapted towards Hungary ?

" NEW YORK, OCT. 24.—The money-market has been exceedingly tight for three or four days, and the effects have been as many have predicted—there have been two or three considerable failures. The Regency at Albany and the branch here are in trouble at the present state of things ; the distress falls heavy on the Regency banks. A meeting, it is said, of merchants and others, who are connected, di: rectly or indirectly, with Government, has been held here and in Albany, in conclave with Mr. Butler, the Attorney- General, who has left or is on his way to Washington, the object of which was to induce him to use his influence to have the Treasury order eased up. Stock is rather depressed in all descriptions ; there is a slight decline. United States Bank, however, advanced to 115 ; Delaware, ; Morris, 88. Money was not so scarce as it was supposed it would be among the brokers. " We have a rumour that the President and the Mexican Minister have had a serious dispute about the occupation of a part of the Mexican territories by the American army under General Gaines. The Mexican Minister demanded that they should be immediately withdrawn, which the Pre sident, with one of his emphatic oaths, said it should not be done, but that the army should retain its position. Where upon the Mexican Minister demanded his passport. Timid people see in this measure the prospects of a war with Mexico, and perhaps difficulties with England, or at all events that the ocean will swarm with privateers under the Mexican flag, who will have a fine harvest on our unpro tected commerce. We hope the story may prove incorrect. The truth of it, however, will be ascertained when this ar ticle reaches Washington ; if untrue, it will be denied. " TEXAS. " The New Orleans Bulletin, of 0et..5, has the follow ing interesting item : ColonelC. P. Greene, of the Texian army, passenger by by the Independence, arrived yesterday fr o m irelasco, Texas, reports to us, that the day before sailing an express arrived official from General Rusk, at the head-quarters of the army, stating that Captains Carnes and Tell, the com— missioners, who had been detained and imprisoned in Mata— moras, had just arrived in the camp, making their escape _ _ from close imprisonment. They state the Mexican forces to be at that time, the sth of last month, 1,600, that Ge neral Bravo had been appointed to the command of the army, and General Valencia second ; that Bravo was to have taken up his march with large reinforcements for Ma tamoras, and that the reinvasion of Texas would soon after commence. " Colonel Greene, of the Texian army, was in good health and spirits, npon the La Baca river. .General Rusk had just recovered from severe illness. Generals Greene and F. Houston were in good health.' " In addition to the above, the same paper gives the fol lowing from Quintana, Sept. 19, taken from the Texas Te legraph, of Sept. 21 : " The Independence is here, and has no provisions ; she was chased by two Mexican brigs, the Archimedes and Privilegro ; and says, that 4,000 Mexicans are on their march for Texas.' " The returns of the elections have not all yet come in from the army. " The Texas Tele , raph positively denies the assertion made by the .New &leans Bee, that l'oo soldiers who had deserted from General Gaines' army to the Texian army had been refused by the latter to be given U. " The Postmaster-General is taking every means to organize routes, and to establish a connexion ►vith those of the United States. (From the New Orleans Courier, Sept. 30.1 " By a decree of the Mexican Government, all the Mexi— can _ports have been declared free and open to Spanish vessels. " By a passenger in the schooner Halcyon, from Mato mores, whence she sailed on the 19th instant, we are in— formed that there were 4,000 Mexican troops in that place, who were daily paraded and drilled. Among them are some efficient corps, but by far the greater part of them were destitute of clothing and shoes, and had a very mi serable appearance. General Urrea, their commander, had been ordered to the capital by the Government, on the alleged ground of misconduct, and an endeavour to exciter the troops against the present, in favour of the Federal Government of 1834. " He still, however, keeps the command, on the ground that the Government is indebted to him for advances of money made to pay off the army, and he is well liked by the soldiery. " General Valencia, or Bravo, was expected to super.. sede Urrea, who would then repair to Mexico, and it was expected would disprove the accusations made against him. " We are also informed that the merchants of Matamoras were apprehensive of a general pillage if the troops should revolt. " About the last of October, or early in November, it was supposed the Mexicans would march against Texas. " A party of the Texian troops had m a d e a d escen t on L a Bexar, and taken possession of th e pl ace . Th ose o f th e inhabitants who were disposed to j o i n th em were a ll owe d to take off their goods and chattels, and those friendly to Mexico ordered to leave the place immediately, and have their property confiscated. The affairs of Mexico are represented as being in a bad state, the treasury so exhausted that money could not be raised to pay the troops, who, it was feared, would re volt in consequence, and then adieu to Texas!'" EAST INDIES. Madras Gazettes are received to the 17th of July. These papers state :—" Y ester d ay a f ternoon, a b out four o ' cloc k , a slight shock of an earthquake was felt in a part of the town of Madras—it was but of momentary duration. " We learn from a gentleman just arrived from Grumsoor, that the t roo p s w hi c h are now i n camp are.st ill suffering greatly from the effects of the climate, and that the mor tality among them has been very considerable.
